Trails, road, track, treadmill and stairmaster day. Met Adam at the JCC for a run up the BST. Funny that we haven't run the BST the entire summer and then we picked the one day with rain. We went up the not so dry Dry Creek Canyon and added a couple of more miles before we ran into 4 inches of mud.  We headed back after Adam took a spill and our shoes were weighing about 5 lbs.  We ended up with 7.5 miles. I then headed out on the road and over to the UofU track where I jumped the fence and did 2x400 at 70 seconds. I thought getting the legs moving after the long run yesterday would be helpful. Finished the workout at the gym with a few on the treadmill and two on the stairmaster.  It was nice to have some energy for a change the day after a long run.  The fitness is getting there slowly but surely.

Morning of cross country then ran a few miles in uncharted territory around a random neighborhood while waiting for my car.

Ran with Adam at the UofU track.  Ended up doing 20x300 and jogging the 100s in between.  Kept the quarters a bit under 90 seconds. The basketball team was nice enough to stay out of our way today.

Gym and boot camp. PT coach asked if any of us had any running races this weekend because he knew the leg workout would be killer. It was a dousy.

First time in my ~10 corporate career that I left work in the middle of the day for a run.  Quite monumental.  The 1AM poker night hindered my plans for a morning run so I was considering taking the day off.  I ended up running an out and back along Holladay Blvd and averaged around  a 6:15 pace.  I felt much much better than I usually feel when I start my morning runs.  Maybe my body just takes more time to get warmed up for the day because in the mornings I am dragging.

Great run down in Orem with Matt, Scott, Mike, Josh, Zak, and Reed. We did the standard 10 up and down from Cemetery Field in Orem. At the turnaround up South Fork Canyon we started the tempo. Ended up with 8 tempo splits at 4:54, 4:57, 4:53, 5:16, 5:04, 5:04, 5:10, 5:05 (average of 5:04). It was great to feel good after a few weeks of less than successful long runs. Thanks to the guys for pushing me along.
